Construction Injury Claims in New York

Employers in New York are required to provide workers’ compensation benefits to employees who are injured on the job. Although these benefits provide medical coverage and compensation for wage loss for workers, they don’t cover damages such as pain and suffering. If you were injured due to negligence, you may be able to file a personal injury claim against your employer or others responsible for creating dangerous conditions.

It’s common for several different contractors to be working on a construction site. This makes these cases particularly complex, as multiple parties may be liable for damages. If your injury was caused by hazardous working conditions, a negligent subcontractor, developer, or property owner, James Alexander Law can investigate all aspects of the accident, determine who was at fault, and help you pursue compensation for your injuries.

What to Do If You’re Injured on a Construction Site

If you’ve been injured on a construction site, seek medical attention immediately. If possible, take photos of the scene, your injuries, and anything else you believe is relevant. Contacting a construction accident lawyer right away can ensure your rights are protected and help determine all possible sources of compensation. Your local defenders know how to accurately value your claim and identify who may be at fault for your injuries. Our lawyers work on a contingency basis, which means you won’t owe attorneys’ fees unless we recover compensation for you.
